The 11th House in Astrology

The 11th House is a succedent one, ruled by Aquarius and planet Uranus. It is co-ruled by Saturn, as before Uranus’ discovery Saturn was the sign’s ruler. It is commonly called “house of friends”, and it indeed rules friends, groups and any type of organizations where the native belongs. The house focuses on how we interact with organized patterns of people, and how we blend into collective structures. From our body, the eleventh house is ruling our shins.

The house’s cusp and planets present inside can indicate the activities we engage in these groups, while also the organizations’ purposes and goals. The 11th house represents the clubs where we have memberships: everything from gym clubs, football fans associations, political parties, artistic unions, the church of a religion or even secret occult sects. It is not a personal house, as most of the outcomes it brings in our lives are connected with other people. They are catalysts of change in our reality, and can very powerfully influence us.

The 11th house is also ruling the immediate results that come from our career, for which is responsible the 10th house. This is because any transiting planet (especially slow-moving) will enter the 11th house after transiting the 10th. A lot of our 11th house actions are linked to the continuum of the previous house; for changes in both houses, the same transiting planet is to be thanked (or blamed). Indeed, joining groups of people is frequently the way that we enjoy what we reap from the 10th house. After a period of concentrating on work, the natural successor is to widen up our social life and enhance our social status. The house can also show a lot of things about the financial situation of our employer.

Step-children and adopted children are also a matter of the 11th house, as also is the fourth born child of the native. Another quite positive area of life that it rules is humanitarian causes, donations and volunteering through financial aid, as volunteering through work and effort is ruled by the 6th house. It is also showing the social area where you would like to assist the improvement of humanity.

Hopes, dreams, and wishes also fall under the influence of the 11th house. This is where you dream big, the lifelong goals that you target. Benefic planets as Jupiter and Venus will enhance a lot your long-term wishes; a strange connection appearing is that the more pleasant social surrounding you have, the more success you will have in your dreams. Indeed, the positive vibes that we receive from our social life can have a great effect on our strength and endurance while fighting to achieve these goals. It shows our ability to be loved by masses of people; and what is love if not a constant current of positive energy, that can be afterward used for other reasons?

Planets present in the eleventh house can make us have public figures as friends; this, in turn, can very frequently aid us in other areas of our lives. There can be aid through connections, opening of gates or even economic support from strong friends. In addition, the 11th house is also showing money in our chart, but in a different way than the 2nd house. Here you can find the BIG money, those that can appear through winning a lottery ticket, and incomes, in general, connected to our career. The 2nd house is mostly indicating how we keep or how we spend them, rather than from where they come, as it is the ruler of material belongings. A trine between planets in the 11th house and the 2nd house is a great aspect as you can probably figure out yourselves. Enhance your 11th house, simply by joining and enjoying the groups of people it offers, and you will be definitely rewarded. The most difficult in life is to proceed alone; you might even succeed, but you would not have 11th house people around you to celebrate your success.
